Heavenly Voice Irén Lovász (vocals) Voces 3 Choir: Zoltán Mizsei, András Demjén, Barnabás Hegyi Béla Ágoston: wind instruments Irén Lovász broke into the top ranks of Hungarian and international folk music and world music with her first solo album in 1995. Now she has stepped onto a new road, which overarches musical genres and touches the basic, anthropological substance of music. This is almost a natural consequence of the experiences the singer-researcher acquired throughout her life from her studies of traditional culture, folk music, folk poetry and religious anthropology. In 2006, she started a 4-piece album series entitled 'Healer', dedicated to the supporting, curing power of human voice, which is one of the most important, universal and ancient characteristic of music and the human singing voice in it. 'Inner Voice' is a meditative interior journey aimed at the waking up the ancient powers slumbering in the deepest regions of the self; bringing the energies of the four ancient elements of nature (Earth, Water, Air and Fire) hidden inside us to the surface with the natural methods of music and harmony, and with the help of archaic prayers, old Hungarian folk songs, Gregorian melodies and musical instruments that conjure these elements. At this festive evening, on midwinter night, ancient Hungarian folk songs evoking the festive cycle will also be sounded from the album 'Heavenly Voice', accompanied by archaic songs of Mary, Medieval Gregorian songs in Latin, Ambrosian chants and Italian lauds. The musical accompaniment is based on the bourdon-technique aimed at facilitating absorption and portraying eternity in music. 'More than songs, more than mantras: these sounds are the entwined miracles of the universe and Hungarian folk poetry transmitted through it. I value the album especially highly and consider it to be supplementary. I can sense the soul-healing, feeding on the collective Hungarian unconscious, to be flowing from this album. These are truly healing sounds!' Dr Ildikó Konta music therapist's recommendation for the album 'Inner Voice'
